Contact: [email protected] 1 Prudence and Controversy: The New York Public Library Responds to Post-War Anticommunist Pressures Stephen Francoeur Baruch College [Post-print version accepted for publication in the September 2011 issue of Library & Information History. http://maney.co.uk/index.php/journals/lbh/] Abstract As the New York Public Library entered the post-war era in the late 1940s, its operations fell under the zealous scrutiny of self-styled ‗redhunters‘ intent upon rooting out library materials and staffers deemed un-American and politically subversive. The high point of attacks upon the New York Public Library came during the years 1947-1954, a period that witnessed the Soviet atomic bomb, the Berlin airlift, and the Korean War. This article charts the narrow and carefully wrought trail blazed by the library‘s leadership during that period. Through a reading of materials in the library archives, we see how political pressures were perceived and handled by library management and staff. We witness remarkable examples of brave defense of intellectual freedom alongside episodes of prudent equivocation. At the heart of the library‘s situation stood the contradictions between the principled commitments of individual library leaders and the practical political considerations underlying the library‘s viability.

  • Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History
    Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2005. 93 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye. This paper documents published sources related to autobiographies and oral histories of baseball players, pitchers, and managers who performed the preponderance of their professional career before the United States of America’s involvement with the Second World War. The paper separates the individual autobiographies into three sections based upon the era in which the player is most associated with: the Iron Age (1869-1902), the Silver Age (1903-1922), and the Golden Age (1904-1941). Each section arranges the players alphabetically by surname, and every player entry contains a photograph, brief biographical information, a quotation from the autobiography, and lists of anecdotal works, biographies, films, and museums correlating to the player, when available. The fourth section of the paper concerns oral history (1869-1941), arranging the monographs alphabetically, with each entry including information about the players interviewed similar to the first three sections, but arranged by the player’s occurrence in the monograph.

Since the source is the internet, the reader is advised to also authenticate. The link is: http://www.subvertednation.net/jew-lists/ The below link from the Jewish Virtual Library contains many of the names identified on pages 36 – 38. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/US- Israel/obamajews.html Jewish Influence: An Introduction We have been accused of having “Jew on the brain”; of being negatively obsessed with the Jews, and of being “anti-Semitic.” Yet Jewish influence over the affairs of the world are undeniably powerful, far out of proportion to their numbers. Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.
